The Rough Guide to Brittany & Normandy

by Greg Ward

Martin Dromore (reader), Northern Ireland: "Excellent, no-nonsense guide to Normandy and the French! This Rough Guide contains all the usual historical and tourist information you would expect on these two areas of France. What distinguishes the book from its competitors is the information on restaurants, particularly good and helpful, and the historical information, which is given with a quirky and insightful style I really liked. . . If you only want to buy one book to take with you, make this the one."

As of September 2020 the suggested highlights are still valid and open. I used the guide to plan a 2 week vacation for my wife and I (30s couple) and to fill 2-3 hour gaps of time time where I had nothing planned.

The sites, "ways to get there", towns and villages are accurately described. The context section added a different dimension and depth to sites visited where no English tour was available.

I did not visit any of the suggested places to eat, camping sites or stay at the suggested accomodation.

Rough Guides is my "go to" whenever we're planning a road trip. Excellent advice. On and off the beaten path.
